Whats is Bell’s palsy?

Bell’s palsy is also known as acute peripheral facial palsy, facial paralysis, facial numbness, facial nerve palsy, 面瘫, etc.

Bell’s Palsy is a paralysis of the facial nerve resulting in the inability to control facial muscles of the affected side. The cause of Bell’s Palsy is often unknown, but is thought to be an inflammation condition causing swelling of the facial nerve and affecting its functions.

In TCM, this facial paralysis is understood to be caused by “wind”, which attacks and obstructs the meridians and channels that supply Qi and blood to nourish the muscles in the face. This could occur when our vital Qi is deficient and weak, allowing the “wind” to attack our meridians.

Bell’s palsy Acupuncture

Acupuncture is widely employed in the treatment of Bell’s Palsy. Using needles to stimulate certain acupoints can expel the “wind”, and improve the movement of Qi and blood to the facial muscles to expedite recovery. When coupled with herbal medication, the effects of acupuncture in management and recovery of symptoms can be enhanced.
